What is today?
What day is it? I think all the day’s are running together. Ah yes, it’s a Tuesday. Sunday, we did not fly due to a propeller issue, but thankfully, we did not have to change the prop. Monday, we flew for an estimated three hours, until we had to turn around and land due to a turbine overheat light. Thankfully, that wasn’t soo much of an issue. Today, we almost did not fly because of a generator problem, but magically, the problem fixed itself. So we fly—in search of icebergs. For 8.0 hours in the air I saw the most icebergs I’ve seen since I’ve been up here!!! And of course I have took pictures…that’s why I’m here! So I think the plan is to fly another mission tomorrow and head home on Thursday. It is cold up here. It’s around 0 degrees Celcius…so it’s right around freezing at night. I am ready to come home. I miss my kids and I miss my bed. And from what I hear, it’s warm in NC, so I definitely miss the warm weather. Soon I’ll be coming home. Even though the C-130 is an old plane and seems to break a lot, she keeps going. Kind of like the Energizer Bunny…it just keeps going and going (with a little help from the mechanics) and I know she’ll get us home.
